Harness your demons to the wagon

“Art has to be emotionally coherent. You can’t understand art intellectually, you can only feel it.” (Ingmar Bergman)

“It is fairly obvious that the cinema became my means of expression. I made myself understood in a language that bypassed the words – which I lacked – and music – which I did not master – and painting, which left me indifferent. With cinema, I suddenly had an opportunity to communicate with the world around me in a language that is literally spoken from soul to soul in phrases that escape the control of the intellect in an almost voluptuous way.” (Ingmar Bergman)
